D.C. marchers protest
war and wage restraints
By Steve Letzler
Managing Editor
Special to the Chronicle
WASHINGTON-About
2,500 people demonstrated
for an immediate end to the
Vietnam war and for a lifting
of the wage-restraints in
Washington, D.C. Saturday.
The activities, sponsored
by the National Peace Action
Coalition, included two
simul taneous marches,
starting at the Capitol and the
Arlington Cemetery, and
ending at the Ellipse in front
of the White House for a
rally.
The marches were
generally quiet, and there was
"irtually no violence, except
tor a brief scuffle between
same demonstrators and 15
members of the American
Nazi Party.
The swastika-wearing
group tried to wrest an
American flag from the hands
of one of the demonstrators,
but were quickly pulled back
onto the sidewalk by police.
They were later arrested for
disturbing the peace. Five
demonstrators were arrested
during the rally, four for
possession of drugs, one for
the selling of drugs.
The marches and rally
included labor union leaders
and workers and federal
employees, along with the
collection of college and high
school students and some
GI's. A contingent from the
Gay Li Deration movement
also marched to the Ellipse.
The speakers at the rally
included nationally known
writer I.F.'Stone. Stone told
the groups that they "must
stop talking to each other"
and go out and "start
educating the American
people about the facts."
Stone said that a
simplistic, sloganeering "hate
Nixon" campaign,
discrediting any and all of
Nixon's policies, was useless,
and "we must realize that the
wage-price freeze has been
asked for by every major
Democratic candidate for
President. The problem is not
to attack Nixon's instituting
the freeze, but the wry he has
carried it out."
Stone called Nixon's
policy in Indochina
"obsolete," since it was
initiated to contain China and
said, "We must make people
aware of what is going on, of
the possiblity that we may be
bogged down in Asia for
another 10-15 years."
Stone said that "protests
of this kind are over." "We
are afflicted by the same kind
of inertia as the bureacracy
we fight."
"Never," he observed,
"has the peace movement
been so strong and looked so
weak."
Also speaking at the rally
was Sandy Gutridge,
president of the Committee
for a Sane Nuclear Policy
(SANE). Gutridge said it was
"insane to detonate a nuelear
device equivalent to five
million tons of TNT in the
area of prime earthquake
activity in the Northern
Hemisphere." He was
referring to the nuclear test
of the Safeguard ABM
warhead on Amchitka Island
in the Aleutians. The
detonation apparently
occurred without a hitch a
few hours later.
"It is a classic example of
how hard it is to stop
something once it achieves
the momentum and support
of certain institutions in this
country," Gutridge said. "It
is momentum out of
control."
"The public must be made
to understand that 61 cents
out of every dollar goes to
wars, past, present and

Cleaveland addresses parents (photo by Cris Jacobs)
About vacant lot
Provost discusses Duke education
By Susan DuBois
Duke Provost Frederic N. Cleaveland told an audience of parents and students Saturday night that
universities should be "especially concerned with their major responsibility of undergraduate education."
Cleaveland spoke to approximately 100 people in Baldwin Auditorium as a part of the Parent's Weekend
activities. He addressed the subject of Duke University and undergraduate education.
While universities exist for many purposes, such as professional education and research, Cleaveland said
that undergraduates should never be left out of University plans.
Undergraduates today are, according to Cleaveland, a very different group than they were in previous
generations. Social change is "not merely an extra-curricular activity for the students' spare time."
He compared the difference between today's students and their parents to the difference between
immigrants and their children in the past. In each case, he explained, the difference between the generations
resulted from the generations' growing up in different worlds. Students "have never known anything other
than a highly technological world," he said.
Referring to the book Future Shock b.y Alvin Toffler, Cleaveland said that a very important factor of life
today is the "transient" nature of information. Because of this, he said, the purpose of education should be
developing the capacity for "supplement and strengthen
making decisions "in the face present programs" rather
of change." rather than only than destroy them,

Following a meeting
between the representatives
of Burlington Industries and
the West Durham Action
Group (WDAG) early last
month, Burlington agreed to
meet most of the demands
that the WDAG had made in
June regarding a
Burlington-owned vacnt lot
adjacent to the West Durham
residential area.
During the month of
October, the fence
surrounding the holding basin
which occupies the center of
the field was repaired and
latticework was installed to
hide the basin from view.
Also, the entire field is in the
process of being cleaned,
leveled off, and planted.
The WDAG approached F.
Lee Ward, manager of the
Burlington Domestics plant.
four months previously, and
at that time presented him
with a petition requesting
that Burlington improve the
condition of the field "to
exclude the stench and safety
and health hazards presently
endured by West Durham
citizens."
Resistance
Several members of the
WDAG met with Ward on
August 23, but encountered
resistenee from him regarding
most of their demands.
The WDAG subsequently
held a press conference on
September 16 for the purpose
of making their grievances
known to the public. The
Chronicle, the University of
N'orth Carolina's Tar Heel and
the North Carolina Anvil
published news stories
concerning this meeting.
The story, however, did
nol appear in other local
newspapers or in any local
news broadcasts.
Following the October
meeting, Barrett Wilson,
personal manager of the
Burlington plant, sent the
WDAG a letter setting forth
Burlington's compromise
with the WDAG's requests.
In the letter Burlington
stated its commitment to
clean up the entire field to
level off the steep slopes on
thy sides of the ditches which
run through the field, and to
improve the hitherto unsafe
fence surrounding the holding
basin located in the middle of
the field.
Liason
In September, Burlington
installed several aerators for
the purpose of eliminating
the strong odor which had
previously emanated from the
holding basin. In the letter.

WASHINGTON-The United Slates plans
to announce today the cancellation ot
licenses for ihe export of more than S3
million of military material lo Pakistan.
This will, in effect, end the controversial
arms pipeline that lias supplied Pakistan with
spare parts and other military goods even
though the adminstralion imposed an arms
freeze in early April.
State department officials, in disclosing
the move, emphasized that the revocation of
the licenses was done with the. consent of
the Pakistani government, which had been
aware of the strong congressional opposition
lo the continued shipment of goods to
Pakistan for possible use in crushing the
rebellion in east Pakistan.
Exempt from the ban will be S16.000
